New Progress of Research on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation Plus at Home and Abroad
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation-plus ( REDD+) mechanism as the most feasible emission reduction measure can help China reduce carbon emission at a lower cost. The schol-ars have launched the research of REDD+according to four aspects:one is to assess impacts of REDD+on the mitigation of climate change;the second one is the research on the impact of incentives and the effect mecha-nism of REDD+on deforestation; the third one is the right equality study of REDD+from the perspectives of payment for environmental services and protection for indigenous interests;the last one is research on the effect assessment of REDD+policies and implementation strategies. In the future, study on the assessment of REDD+effects on climate change mitigation for China should be deepened, In addition, the conduction path of REDD+effects on deforestation mitigation should be analyzed. The quantitative assessment methods are established to investigate REDD+rights equality and the effects of REDD+policies.
